The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician - Chapter 43



43 – Information, Intelligence (1)

The magic tower lord of Sensia used his influence to appoint Ern as a professor at the academy.

Of course, there was a cost.

The palace meeting’s agenda for expanding training did serve as a justification. But that wasn’t enough to convince Arbas.

So, we promised to provide a variety of rosé.

Invited lectures, support of appropriate magic items, etc.

Scholarship support was one of those promises.

Of course, since the situation at the Magic Tower was relatively relaxed, these were things that could be boldly presented.

‘I am always indebted to you.’

Ern was always grateful to Rogera.

There were times when I wondered if I could just spread it around like this because I was her close friend’s student… Still, it was a good thing.

‘… By the way, the president does a good job too.’

Looking at Arbas’s attitude of accepting what is required, it seems that there is a reason for his long-term rule.

Now, Kagon Academy was the only educational institution connected to the Sensia School.

It was obvious that his already high status would shine even brighter.

After getting off work, Ern arrived at the Sensia Magic Tower.

As always, the main door on the first floor opened quietly and automatically. As I entered the lobby, a golem was cleaning in the corner.

Because it was a familiar sight, Ern approached the glass plate placed at the information desk.

[Welcome. Please tell me your business.]

“Today is the magic tower lord-“

-Ding!

The elevator door opened.

[Have a nice day.]

The writing disappeared without a trace. He still didn’t listen to people until the end.

“……”

The ‘Magtop Automatic System’ had many similarities with the tablet PCs of modern society.

And one of the useful functions of the magic tower system was that it was possible to know whether a school member was currently in the tower or not.

‘It seems like a revelation.’

I was going to ask if there was a Rosera, but seeing as they started giving directions right away, I thought I could just follow along.

When I arrived at the top floor in the elevator, I saw writing on the glass plate attached to the hallway.

[The Mage Tower’s office is the last room.]

‘Are you feeling okay today?’

The magic tower system was useful, but if it was forgotten, it would lose its appeal.

-Sometimes it causes errors. But it’s not a big problem, so you don’t need to worry.

-Is there any error…

-You should find out for yourself.

-No…

Actually, as Rogera said, Ern was able to recognize the error for himself while staying at the Magic Tower.

There was a case where I ordered soup from a golem, and the spicy, fiery soup came.

Of course, it was fortunate that ‘food’ arrived at that time. Occasionally, I even saw things coming from the twisted nether.

In addition, I also remembered that when I asked him to bring useful items for the quest, the golem threw a brick at him.

But since I lived in the magic tower, I got used to it.

Of course, like an emperor who fears assassination, people developed the habit of checking the contents of food before eating it.

-Knock knock knock

“Magic Tower Lord?”

There was no answer.

‘Are you sleeping again?’

Ern just opened the door.

If it were someone who didn’t know Rose Ra, she would have waited in silence.

However, Ern had some knowledge of the lifestyle habits of the Mage Tower.

‘As expected.’

As expected, she was asleep and breathing quietly.

Rosera was sitting on the sofa in her office, leaning against her back and closing her eyes.

Her long, loose red hair fell down her shoulders.

The appearance seemed reminiscent of the magic tower lord seen in the original work.

Although they were the same person, Ern unconsciously treated them differently.

‘Why is it that a person sleeping quietly is more elegant…? ?’

She was wearing a simple dress that was worn only indoors, but even that did not diminish her charm.

An empty liquor bottle and a glass were placed on the table in front of the sofa.

‘You’re a gentleman today.’

She sometimes set up a buffet with bottles of alcohol, so Ern sighed in relief at her.

Ern walked closer to her and she called out to Rosera.

“Tap Lord.”

“Huh…?”

Rogera slowly opens her eyes. Her emerald eyes began to appear little by little.

“Err…?”

She blinked her eyes a few times, feeling half-asleep, as if she hadn’t yet woken up, and then she slapped the spot next to her on the sofa with her hand.

“…?”

“Sit down~”

Rogera was smiling brightly and asking to be present.

“I’m on the other side…”

“Oh quick!”

“….”

Within 10 seconds of waking up, she seemed to have lost all of her dignity.

“…I understand.”

Wherever the smile had gone, Rose had a stern expression on her face.

It seemed like the conversation wouldn’t proceed unless she was present, so Ern decided to comply with her request first.

And Ern sat down on the sofa.

-Wow!

Rogera hugged Ern.

“Err~”

Ern was not embarrassed. Because it was something she could have fully expected.

Ern continued calmly.

“Top owner? I have something to tell you. Come to your senses…”

“It’s no big deal… It appears in my dreams too…?”

“Yes??”

Are you still half asleep?

“Tap lord, isn’t this a dream? I think I drank a lot. Please use your magic quickly, right?”

Rogera didn’t respond and slowly began stroking Ern’s head.

“That’s right~”

“???”

Ern was then taken aback.

‘You got very drunk from just one bottle!?’

Hugging someone was Rogera’s drinking habit. She had seen Lily suffer the last time too.

But this was my first time doing something like this.

“Ahh, tower owner, just wait a moment.”

Ern tried to get out of her form.

But the more Ern struggled, the more strength Rosera put on her arms.

“Er, you’ve been through a lot… Agnes said you-“

At that moment, Rogera’s words stopped, as if the pause button on a video had been pressed.

“Top owner?”

“Huh…?”

Rosera stopped stroking her hair and looked at Ern.

“Ern, you-“

This time, she was speechless.

‘Why… The ban is working… ?’

Magical prohibitions only affect reality. In other words, if it was a dream, a mental world, there would be no problem.

Rogera’s dreamy eyes widened.

She spun her circles and chased away her sobriety.

The feeling of hugging Ern and the sight that came into her eyes did not change.

It was not a dream, but reality.

Rosera hurriedly let go of her Ern and asked a question.

“…Ern, how did you get in?”

“Are you awake yet? I’m already registered in the magic tower system.”

“No, that’s not it… I mean my office…”

“Yes? Of course I opened the door and came in.”

Ern seemed to be reprimanding Rosera with just her facial expression, saying, ‘Why are you asking such an unrealistic question?’

“……”

“Tap Lord. I think you’ve taken it well, but I think it would be better to use the magic quickly.”

“I made sure I locked the door…?”

The alcohol was partly to blame for thinking it was a dream, but clearly remembering to lock the office also played a part.

Rosera walked to the glass plate attached to the wall of her office. She then began to manipulate skillfully.

[Magic Tower Management System]

[View command records]

[Administrator: Rogera Tien/Matapju Office Lock]

[Administrator: Attempt to open Ern/Matapju’s office]

[Command conflict occurred]

[Prioritize commands from senior administrators]

[Administrator: Nullify Rogera Tien’s order]

[Office of the Magic Top Lord]

“….”

“Top owner, what’s going on?”

Ern saw Rosera stopping in front of her glass plate and approached her out of curiosity.

“Is there something wrong with the system?”

Ern read the text displayed by the magic tower system.

“Hmm….”

“……”

An awkward silence filled the office.

“…You really have higher authority than me?”

“Did you know?”

“No, it was just something I thought about on the first day, but I passed it on out of curiosity…”

“…What should we do now?”

“Hmm… I guess I have no choice but to stay like this.”

“Are you sure you can’t touch it?”

“Yes. It’s Agnes’ work?”

In fact, even if Rogera had been able to modify Ern’s authority, she would have left it as is.

It was thought that there must be a reason why Agnes registered her superior manager before Erne.

“…Still, would you please knock and come in?”

“Did you know that I never knocked?”

“….”

Ern read Rogera’s expression and protested.

“…I did it today.”

“So…?”

“Try to drink less.”

In Rose Ra’s mind, her memories from the time Ern woke her up until now flashed like a flash of light.

She blushed and scratched her head, as if she had nothing to say.

***

Rogera read the letter from her president indifferently.

“Hmm… Is this how scholarship sponsorship works?”

The letter written by Arbas explained the scholarship system at Kagon Academy.

Of course, Ern was familiar with the academy’s scholarship system, so she did not ask Rosera any questions.

This was because I had already received support from every magic tower once.

“Tap owner. I will take charge of selecting the scholarship recipient.”

“Yes.”

‘… ‘They accept it so easily?’

It was a moment when the grounds for persuasion she had prepared in her head became meaningless.

Meanwhile, Rogera put her president’s letter down on her desk for a moment and looked at Ern.

“But actually, there is more important news than just talking about scholarships.”

“What is it?”

“Someone from the Intelligence Department visited the Magic Tower today?”
